Good evening, everyone. We have another big wind maker rolling into the region later tonight and Saturday as another potent system works in. The winds will likely cause issues before ushering in a blast of arctic cold through early next week.<\/p>\n

For the entire week, we have been focusing on the potential for big winds coming in tonight into Saturday and nothing has changed with that thought. As a matter of fact, the models are showing higher winds as we get closer. Check out the 60mph+ gusts on a few models…<\/p>\n

Hi Res NAM<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>EURO<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lowest wind gusts from the models is from the GFS, but even it shows widespread 50mph gusts…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Given the model forecasts for gusts, one would assume a Wind Advisory would be a slam dunk across Kentucky. As of this writing, not a single county in Kentucky is under a Wind Advisory, even though the forecast gusts easily meet the NWS’s own criteria…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If the NAM and EURO verify, the High Wind Warning would verify. Regardless, there isn’t a single piece of model data that suggests a Wind Advisory shouldn’t be in effect. I asked the forecasters on duty at the NWS in Louisville as to why and they said they collaborated with all surrounding NWS offices and no one had enough confidence to issue one.<\/p>\n

The group think tank mentality that has invaded the entire weather community of late is something to behold.<\/p>\n

I digress. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Cold air comes in behind this departing system as arctic winds blow into early next week. Wind chills are going to be way down…<\/p>\n
